Catbox Creative is teaming up with 07th Expansion and Witch Hunt Translation Group to bring an updated version of the visual novel “Umineko When They Cry” to Western audiences.

Officially called “Umineko When They Cry: Gold Edition”, this version of the Steam game includes the following new features:
​
  • Full in-game voice acting, featuring an official North American cast approved by original series creator, Ryukishi07.

  • A Graphics Update, adding the option to play the game on Steam with graphics from the PS3 games “Rondo of the Witch and Reasoning” and “Nocturne of Truth and Illusions."
    ​
  • New content directly from Ryukishi07. 

Additionally, a fully voiced, dramatized audio adaptation of the novel will be released as a free podcast series.​
Catbox Creative will be hosting a crowdfunding campaign for the Gold Edition via Kickstarter. 

If the Kickstarter is funded, all owners of the Steam version of “Umineko When They Cry” will have access to the contents of “Gold Edition” as a free update. Depending on the success of the campaign, additional features and new content may also be unlocked. 

As a reward for supporting the Kickstarter, backers will be able to obtain new official Umineko merchandise, dependent upon their pledge tier. Depending on the success of the campaign, more merchandise rewards may also be unlocked.
11 characters and their voice actors have been revealed.
If the Golden Witch receives enough sacrifices, another 14 shall follow.
